Multi-Grammy Award-winner Bill Gaither will host a spectacular evening of music, laughter and encouragement featuring the world-class talent of the Gaither Vocal Band.

The group will perform in Wichita Friday at 7 p.m. at the INTRUST Bank Arena in Downtown Wichita.

The Gaither Vocal Band - Mark Lowry, Michael English, David Phelps, Wes Hampton and Bill Gaither - will sing gospel classics, as well as new favorites.

The concert begins at 7 p.m., but the doors to the arena open at 5:30 p.m.

Tickets are still available for $27.50 and $36.50. Seniors (people over age 60) may purchase tickets for $24.50.

Phelps said he enjoys coming to Wichita to perform.

“I’ve performed in Wichita several times,” Phelps said. “There is always such a warm reception there. I grew up in a small town in Texas (Tomball) and it is always amazing to me when people in a city like Wichita cheer us on.”

He said he never tires of the experience of performing live.

“I always have to remind myself what an amazing opportunity it is to do what I love,” he said. “It is truly a gift.”
